In an orphanage where only a few children remained, but only that there was no adult in that abandoned place, there were some children who did not manage to have a family and stayed in the orphanage, the adult in charge of the orphanage died in their apartment. Due to her age, is an elderly woman with no relatives and with her weak body, she died. It took three weeks for the neighbors to complain about the smell and find her body.
But while she was forgotten, seven children in the orphanage also suffered from their own problems, the first few days they waited, but one day they could not stay there because of the lack of food and now it was only their place to sleep after they begged on the streets.
Of the seven children one of them had a weaker physical constitution and couldn't even get out of bed, his essence was so weak that he was forgotten by the other six children and also for his weak body, the people didn't want to adopt him.
The child at this moment is lying in bed while it is covered by thin clothes that don't provide enough coverage to the cold.
The boy already had several days without eating, he was still alive because he had bottles of water at his fingertips, but while the child was trembling from the cold, he suddenly uncovered himself.
He no longer had signs of cold and little by little he went to sleep, he showed a smile of satisfaction at the imaginary heat he feels, but while he fell asleep to never wake up again, he let out tears of sadness.
.....
...
..
.
He was abandoned and forgotten.
But by a miracle, his soul didn't go to the limbo, but was sucked into an unknown direction, the poor soul of the child was taken to his second life.
A baby, who neither cried nor moved, was already on the hard ground outside in the streets, that baby ... it was only an empty shell until a poor soul fulfilled the baby that night.

While I was being carried by John I wiped my tears off with my beige shirt.
We returned to the square, where the carriage was waiting for the Lord.
John released me when we arrived and began to check everything, horses, the driver, the carriage, etc.
"Where will I sit?" I grabbed the bag Joseph gave me while everyone looked at me for my question.
"Inside, obviously" The girl answered as she entered the carriage, which was white with some red and green details.
It had an entrance but this one had a purple curtain that avoided seeing what was inside, with a window on each side of the entrance.
I turned to see the man who had just adopted me and he just nodded, while still talking to John about some things.
I waited for the lady to come up first and then follow her.
When I passed the curtain, I could only think.
<Waaooo!> The inner part of the carriage was much wider than what it shows, I think I could fit four beds for adults and still not fill the room.
The room was divided into three sections, the largest of which were only very soft red seats, which are attached to the wall next to the two windows on the sides of the carriage and the hatch connected to the driver.
The other two are one for coffee and a mini library, the coffee area has a table and four chairs along with a magic cabinet from which the lady is taking many things to make sure a coffee.
The reading area has three seats and a carpet of some very hairy beast, also has a double cabinet, which when you divide it between two there is a section in the middle which allows you to see the books and if you do not have the one you want, you simply go the books aside, that's what she's doing.
I'm looking at everything from the seating area and I still can't believe it.
"Dear, you want coffee" The lady asked the Lord who just entered.
"Please, Suta, that's your true name." He turned to see me and I nodded to his doubt.
"From now on you will be under my care, you will be trained to be the personal steward of my daughter, it is a custom to get children of the same age as the children to create a bond of trust, it is easy for me to let a professional take care of my little girl, but if she doesn't bear it or hates him, that could cause delays in her growth, so from now on you'll call us like Arthur and Scarlett, now go and get my daughter's right hand if You can "Mr. Arthur went with his wife to have coffee and talk about adult things.
<Although it's also because of your talent> [Arthur's thought]
<I expected to be forced to call them Master, as in the stories ... as if the world were flat!>
"Ne ne!, what are you doing?" I asked curiously to see the girl who has not yet his name which has a book with pictures of animals.
"Oh you stopped of crying like a baby! Now I'm looking for what animal you're related! "She turned to look me in the face and showed a smile when she called me baby, and then keep looking in her book.
<Calling me baby when you cried before too!> My tail started to shake hard.
"Don't move it too much, so I can't know what animal you are!" She was looking at my tail as she compared me to the animal in her book, so I wiggled my tail harder.
"Hey! I told you not to move! "She threw herself at me and threw me to the ground and started comparing again with the book, but I will not let a girl call me a baby when she cried before.
I get out of his grip and hide behind one of the seats, she tries to follow me but her dress prevents her from entering the small area between the seats and the wall.
"Get out now!" She tried to order me but I refused flatly.
"No!" I yelled my answer and she just showed a face of irritation.
"Get out of there!, my dad said you are now my servant so pay attention to me!" She showed a triumphant smile when she said that I am her servant.
I showed an equal smile.
"Yes !, but in training!" After saying that I hid myself more deeply where she could not see me.

)---[Several minutes later]---(
"What do I have to do to get you out of there?!" A girl who looks like she's about to cry desperately asks for a red couch.
"Apologize for calling me, baby!" A child's voice came from the couch.
"Just that ?!" she asked confused.
"Hmm!" A confirmation came back from the couch.
"I- I" The girl found it difficult to apologize for something that was true for her and that she did not see it as a bad thing, but when she started to apologize, two white ears came out from the back of the sofa.
"I a- am!" The ears behind the back of the sofa were shaking every time she spoke and this excited her and she started looking in her book that she was bringing.
"I'm so- sorry !, now! I said! So get out! "She despaired and began to speak with her authoritative voice as if the above had not happened.
A white-haired boy with blue eyes came out of the sofa, the boy's face seemed to smile every time he closed his eyes, the boy wore light brown clothes and was the light type although they were in the winter season.
The boy stood next to the girl and let himself be seen while pointing out which ones did not look like him.

"No, no, no ..." I kept pointing out which did not look anything like my ears or my tail, the images of the book were very well detailed.
"Now that I think about it, when are we going to leave?" I asked confused to see that we never moved or the carriage quaked.
"Eh?!, Since my dad came in, look" She went to a window and moved the curtain and I could see a green field that moved, rather, we are the ones who move.
*Grrg* My stomach growled with hunger, so I opened the bag that Joseph gave me, inside there was a crope, it is the size of my two hands together, it is a little warm.
When I started to eat she kept looking at me, I offered her but she refused, but she kept watching me eat.
"Taking! And stop at looking at me! "I gave her a piece and I continued eating while looking for the animal that resembles me.
"Thank you." I heard a murmur and turned to see the fountain to see the girl eating in a very delicate way.
<What weird habits> I thought to see how she had to throw small bites because if not, she would look bad.
"No, no no ... THIS!!" Of all the animals I saw, I only found one with similar characteristics, it's like a dog, but it's not.
"Let me see" She approached and began to read the strange words that I don't understand.
"Amazing, you can read! ... what's your name, so I do not have to refer to you as, only a girl?" She turned to see me and showed a smile of pride and stopped.
"You've been late! My name is Lux Grinford, the third daughter of the current leader of the Grinford clan! Call me Lux." She pulled out her chest with pride as she introduced herself.
"Alright third daughter of clan leader Grinford ... pft!" I called her in another way which caused her to get upset but not stand and let out my laughter at the end.
"Haha, uh, then what's this animal's name?" I picked up the book from the floor and pointed to the animal, she looked annoyed, but still began to read or to spell.
"F! ... O! ... X! It's a Fox!" She raised her chest in pride again when she finished reading.
"Ooh!" I began to applaud and she tried to pull her chest out more like a nose, which makes me laugh.
Her parents began to congratulate her for knowing how to identify the letters.
Look at the three symbols and memorize them, so I began to leaf through the book in the section of animals with white fur, since my hair is white and not orange with black like that Fox.
There were rabbits, bears, some others I didn't know until I found a fox, but this one was white.
"Princess! I already found it! "Lux came running and I snatched the book and began to see what it was.
"It's a Fox ... ... ... Artantic !, this is it, an Artantic Fox!" Lux pulled out her chest with pride, but there was no applause.
She turned to see her servant who was trying to memorize the words she said, she was upset because she was not congratulated but that thought was erased by the effort of her servant.

After they discovered what animal Suta was related to, he and the 'princess' began to study the letters under the eyes of Scarlett, Lux's mother, since it is normal for Nobles to go to high school only at the age of 15. to awaken their talents.
The stones of awakening are not a common product, although they can be manufactured, their manufacturing formula is a secret for ordinary people, although there are three types; The natural, ancient and modern.
Natural, as the name implies, are created by nature itself for things of a miracle, only 3 of them are known and of which the Starlight Kingdom only has one.
The old ones were created by the first Magicians in a very rustic way, now they are only pieces of the museum since their percentage of awakenings is very low.
The modern is the improved version of those that are natural, it was discovered that things are necessary for its manufacture and were made under circumstances prepared for a better product, although you have the way of elaboration, there are only four places where one can find these stones or crystals.
In schools of Magic, Museum, Business of Awakening and finally the Palace.
There is a Sixth that would be the Church, but its stone of awakening is a special case, since that stone only awakens two attributes if you have them, Light and Water.
